Emitter semiconductor region from w/c charge

carries are injected into the base of a bipolar junction

transistor
Dielectric insulating material between two plates
where an electrostatic field exists
Electric Charge stored on the surface of a
material. Also known as a static charge
Electromagnetic Communication use of an
electomagnetic wave to pass information between
two points. Also called wireless communication
Electomagnetic Wave wave that consists of both
electric and magnetic variation
Peak maximum or highest amplitude level
Peak to Peak difference between the maximum
positive and maximum negative values of an AC
waveform
Limiter circuit or device that prevents some
portion of its input from reaching the output. A clipper
Live term used to describe a circuit or piece of
equipment that is on and has current flow within it
Load a source drives a load. Whatever component
or piece of equipment is connected to a source and
draws current from a source is a load on that source
Source device that provides signal power or
energy to a load
Speaker or loudspeaker transducer that
converts electrical energy into mechanical energy at
audio frequencies
Static crackling noise heared on AM radio
receivers. Caused by electric storms or electric
devices
Static Electricity stationary electric charges
Closed Circuit circuit having a complete path for
current flow
Coaxial Cable transmission line in w/c the signal
carrying conductor is covered by a dielectric and
another conductor
Collector semiconductor region in a bipolar
junction transistor through w/c a flow of charge
carries leaves the base region
Switch electrical device having two states,
on(closed) or off(open). Ideally having zero
impedance when closed and infinite impedance when
open
Power Supply electrical equipment used to
deliver either AC or DC voltage
Protoboard board w/ provision for attatching
components w/o solder. Also called breadboard.
Primarily used for constructing circuits
Pulse rise and fall of some quantity (usually
voltage) for a period of time
Radar acronym for radio detection and ranging
a system that measure the distance and direction of
objects
Rectifier diode circuit that converts alternating
current into pulsating direct current
Live term used to described a circuit or piece of
equipment that is on and has current flow w/in it
Load a source drives a load. Whatever component
or piece of equipment is connected to a source and
draws current from a source is a load on that source
Dead Short short circuit having zero resistance
PNP Transistor a bipolar junction w/ an n-type
base and p-type emitter and collector
Polarity term used to described positive and
negative charges
Potentiometer a variable resistor w/ three
terminals. Mechanical turning of a shaft can be used
to produced variable resistance and potential
Ground an intentional or accidental conducting
path between an electrical system or circuit and the
earth or some conducting body acting in place of the
earth. A ground is often used as the common wiring
point or reference in a circuit

Henry the basic unit of inductance
